图形描述题的难点之一是难以在短时间内找出该题需要表达的重点,其次缺乏此举,缺少书面表达的语言和亮点。对于题型出现的这些难点,有一些相应的建议,帮助大家克服考试中出现的这些难点。
1、寻觅小作文需要表达的重点
见到图形表达题,你心中就需要思考这个图形题需要表述的重点在哪里。作答时先说明再梳理数据。切不可将文章写成账本式的文字,否则,你就会得到很低的分数。
例如:The graph shows how the amount of water used worldwide changed between 1900 and 2000. Throughout the century, the largest quantity of water was used for agricultural Purposes, and this increased dramatically from about 500 km to around 3,000 km in the year 2000.
文章的主句应该对文章要表达的趋势,量的大小作出说明,相关的数据则补充在后面。雅思(课程)小作文考察的精髓还是查看考生的英文表达能力,精简凝练。你的描述要让阅卷者脑海中浮现出图形的样本,数量和趋势等等相关变量。如果你能达到以上这些要求,那么小作文本身也就基本上合格了。
2、了解图形的分类规律
图形描述题,按照标准图形来分,可以分为line graph (curve), bar chart, pie chart以及table,按照表达重点来分,分为趋势类和大小类,分类依据于题中的时间列表。一般来说,出现时间段的图形题都是以描述数据变化趋势为主。
3、准备必要的表达方式
1. 与趋势有关的词语:
上升(动词):increase, rise, climb, ascend, surge, shoot up
下降(动词):decrease, decline, drop, fall, descend, plunge
持平(动词):remain stable, keep constant, level off, flatten out
波动(动词):fluctuate, wave, go up and down
(形容词/副词):considerable/considerably, significant/significantly,substantial/substantially,remarkable /remarkably, dramatic/dramatically
稳步(形容词/副词):steady/steadily, stable/stably, moderate/moderately, modest/modestly
缓慢(形容词/副词):slight/slightly, minimal/minimally, marginal/marginally
顶点(名词 /动词):peak
趋势 (名词):trend/ tendency
2. 与大小相关的词语:
Outnumber (动词):在数量上超过The demonstrators were outnumbered by the police
Exceed (动词):在数量上超过
Triple (动词):变成三倍The figure has tripled.
Double (动词):变成两倍The price of houses has virtually doubled over the past few years.
Mount to (动词):达到
Counterpart (名词):对应的另一方,比较的另一方 this product is better than its counterparts
此外,建议考生还应考虑一下题中数据和百分比有没有联系,如果有的话还应添加一些数据所占百分比的语句。
3. 相关词语:
百分比(名词):proportion, rate, percentage, share
占据 (动词):occupy, comprise, constitute, account
for, represent.
数字:number, amount, data, figure
比例:rate, proportion, percentage, share
大约:roughly, about, nearly, approximately, a little less than, slightly more than
各自地:respectively, for each,severally
4、注重连词的使用
连词在语句中起着承上启下的作用,添加连词,可以增加文章的逻辑感,使得文章更加严谨,同时,文章中连词的使用也要讲究一定的形式,我们在文章中一般称之为形连。
